1994
Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red
“The 1994 Pahlmeyer Red Wine possesses an opaque black color with an intense nose of earth, black fruits, vanilla and spice. Full-bodied and concentrated with moderate but soft, ripe tannins, this Cabernet blend drinks well now but will continue to develop over the next 10-15 years.”

The 1994 Proprietary Red Wine exhibits a purple/black color, as well as sweet, integrated tannin, a gorgeous blackcurrant, toast, tar, and licorice-scented nose, fabulous texture, and a 35-45 second finish. The 1994 may be slightly sweeter in the mid-palate than the 1995, but the differences are negligible. The abundant tannin is mostly concealed by the wine’s wealth of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol. This wine should drink well from the late nineties through the first two decades of the next century. Very impressive!
